Six cool container gardening trends for your garden
1. The use of creative containers. Trendy gardeners aren?t planting in big, glazed ceramic pots anymore. They?re converting filing cabinets into planter boxes, growing veggies in a pasta strainer, using stock tanks as raised beds, and turning all kinds of household items into garden containers.
Recycled containers, such as this old ice cream maker, add whimsy and creativity to the garden.
2. Growing edibles in containers.?If you don?t have time to maintain an in-ground vegetable garden, but you still want to grow your fair share of fresh veggies, of all the container gardening trends here, this one is the one for you. Everything from blueberries and tomatoes, to lettuce and kiwi vines can be grown in containers. And, if you?re afraid you?ll have to sacrifice beauty for food, you?re wrong. Containers of funky edible plants are beautiful, especially if you use these tips to mix food crops with ornamentals in your containers.
